ESPN’s coverage of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jacksonville Jaguars joint practice got us to wondering about the state of football in Florida, both in the NFL and at the collegiate level.
State of the NFL
Dolphins
The Dolphins have missed the playoffs seven consecutive seasons. They’ve made one playoff appearance in the last 14 seasons and have no playoff wins since the 2000 wild-card game against the Colts.
Buccaneers
The Buccaneers have missed the playoffs eight consecutive seasons. They’ve finished last in the NFC South five straight seasons.
